This spear has an ornate bone head carved to resemble a skull with its mouth open in scream. Its shaft is set with long spikes, a the base is shod with a metal tip molded
the shape of a skull.
Carried primarily by kobold heroes these spears were designed to be true to their name. When you carry a skewer-of-gnomes, it functions as a Small +1 gnome bane spear if you are lawful evil, lawful neutral, or neutral evil.
Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine
connection, the spear also gains the unholy property (DMG 226 and reveals its quasisentience and abilities to you. A skewer-of-gnomes automatically sets itself against a charge, attacking and dealing double damage whenever a foe charges you. This attack uses your highest base
attack bonus and all relevant modiﬁers, just as if you were making an attack of opportunity.
To use the relic power, you must worship Kurtulmak and either sacriﬁce a 5th-level divine spell slot or have the
True Believer feat and at least 9 HD.
Lore: The ﬁrst four skewers-of-gnomes were created for the kings of the most powerful kobold tribes by weaponsmiths working in cooperation with Kurtulmakĺs clergy.
Since then, the secret of their manufacture has been passed down from parent to child and is known to only a handful of kobold weaponmakers (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Sanctify Relic, unholy blight.

Reading the tag, Gnurl's face blanches several shades whiter, and he begins to tremble all over. "Well....I can say for sure that I know one item I won't be choosing!"

Geoffrey takes note of a shield hung on the wall. It is clearly of Elven make. The wood of the shield is some exotic hardwood of the Elven homelands while the metalic parts are all mithral. Based on the symbols it seems like this was the shield of some important syon of Elven nobility.

OOC: Warlocks can benefit from the various meta-magic rods and any items that boost ranged spells. Seems like their was a rod in complete mage that allows you to gain an extra eldritch blast shape power like three times a day. You are no doubt familiar with the Warlcock's Scepter and the Chasuble of Fell power.

Picking up a Chasuble of Fell power, Zurrik says, "I already have this." Seeing the Warlock's Scepter, Zurrik pats his sword, saying, "Warlock's Edge is a custom sword version of this."

Hearing Geoffrey's comment about the sword, Zurrik turns to Geoffrey with a grin.

"I'm stuck between the Belt of Battle and one of these top-of-the-line armor or weapon crystals to upgrade mine."

OOC: They top at 10k or so, but the DR 10/- is tempting. The undead weapon crystal is also tempting, since we are heading towards an undead lich, less so since Eldritch Blast damages undead, and Zurrik does not have sneak attack. I need to find the specs on that Eldritch Blast item.

Rod of Eldritch Power (from complete mage)
Beloved by warlocks, these rods augment the user's
eldritch blast.
Description: Although the various types of
rods of eldritch power vary somewhat in appearance,
they are all made of black iron. They average 2 feet in
length and are carved to resemble the straightened
spine of a demonic creature. A sculpted fiendish or
feylike head, clearly too small for the spine, protrudes
from one end.
When the rod is used, the wielder's eldritch blast
comes from the carved eyes and mouth of the sculpted
head, rather than from his hand.
Activation: A rod of eldritch power requires a swift
action to activate. It functions five times per day.
Effect: Each rod of eldritch power has one invoca-
tionŚeither a blast shape invocation or an eldritch
essence invocationŚcontained within it. You can
will it to apply this invocation to any eldritch blast you
fire while holding it. This allows you to make use of
blast shape or eldritch essence invocations you might
not normally have, but it does not change the normal
restriction that only one invocation of each type can
be applied to any given blast.
Aura/Caster Level: Varies by equivalent level of
the invocation.
